thanks for the comment! Yes, you are correct, you can add a "dashboard" to the story in Tableau (even though the screen says add a "sheet"). Thank you for pointing that out. I've modified the text. I do however, think the "snapshot" feature in Qlik is more useful as it saves the filter/drill point, etc. BTW, not sure if you subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog or if linked somewhere. It has moved to www.biscorecard.com/blog so will stop posting here soon. Regards Cindi

Thanks for the feedback, Sam. yes, a lot of customers have been left in the lurch without the free hand SQL. So it's planned, but no idea on timing. Microsoft allows you to customize the SQL but is less flexible in multiple data sources / multi fact. With OBI EE, you can see the SQL, I have to check if you can modify it. It's possible with the Publisher module, not sure about Answers. BTW. How did you find this blog - we are trying to move all posts to www.biscorecard.com/blog. This typepad one is just a duplicate for transition time. Regards, Cindi

Thank you for your comment. Yes, I do think supporting the Hyperion products is a plus. My question is more the issue of a new customer buying the Interactive Reporting and Production reporting IN ADDITION to the OBI EE platform. Regards, Cindi
